The novel purportedly tells the story of the infamous pirate Henry Avery (also known as Henry Every or John Avery), who was active during the late 17th century. Avery was notorious for capturing a heavily laden Mughal ship in 1695, an incident that brought him significant wealth and notoriety.If "The King of Pirates" is indeed a work by Daniel Defoe, it would likely reflect his characteristic style of blending historical facts with fictional narrative techniques. Defoe was known for his vivid descriptions, moral undertones, and the ability to capture the adventurous spirit of his characters.
